-X -mwindows flag in valac command line is insuficient because the program that I spawn is not builded with this flag.
Any Ideas?

Using glib? in vala?txasatonga– txasatonga2015-02-10 19:52:55 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2015 at 19:52

I don't think it works just using GLib. You can call any C function from Vala so it should be possible to write a VAPI file that interfaces CreateProcessW or maybe one of the ShellExecute* APIs.Jens Mühlenhoff– Jens Mühlenhoff2015-02-10 21:51:57 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2015 at 21:51

1You could of course also write a "proxy application" in any other language that you call from the normal GLib spawn methods. Maybe there even is a ready made program for this task.Jens Mühlenhoff– Jens Mühlenhoff2015-02-10 21:53:29 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2015 at 21:53

You might want to look into GLib's (or GIO to be exact) GSubprocess API which is a wrapper around the respective on various operating systems:
https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GSubprocess.html
Word of warning: needs a recent version of GIO (>= 2.40)
